Fit, Fabulous 40's Friday!

Today, I thought I would share a little about what I eat, 

and the journey I have been on and continue to be on, regarding nutrition.

I am NOT a nutritionist. 

I am an encourager, your personal cheer-leader and coach, 

and I'm just sharing what has worked for me, 

hoping that it will give you some sort of comfort knowing that most fit people 

really work at it.

I look at becoming "fit"similar to working towards a degree, or certification.

It is a process of consistently taking baby steps.

Remember "What About Bob?"

Bill Murray was great in this movie portraying someone with a ton of issues- 

he's neurotic.

I loved this movie because ALL of us have some issues

and 

we can empathize with Bob.

( I do have a few....hundred)

I think most of us really want to work on

"our stuff",

sometimes we just aren't sure how.

You must work towards becoming fit or healthy.

 Little by little, chipping away day by day, week by week, year by year.
It came slowly for me,
as I shared here,
but it came!

I had to start looking at how I was using food.

Not just for nourishment,

but for friendship, when I was feeling lonely or bored,

for comfort, when I was nervous,

and for protection, when I was fearful.

I also ate whatever I wanted, when I wanted,

and let's face it,

bad carbs taste the best!

The cool thing about my relationship w/ Jesus,

is that instead of going to food for comfort,

I can go to God.

2 Corinthians 1:3

 "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort"

Baby Steps:

Let's start with three Simple Things

1. Correct Portions

2. BETTER choices.

3. Eat a portion of PROTEIN and a portion of CARBS at every meal/snack.
